Yummy Morning Scones!

I woke up this morning, with the urge to bake something! Scones! :) I love to make scones because you can use every creative cell in your body (which I have plenty). My beautiful helper this morning was Miss Rose. She's so good in the kitchen and will one day make her husband a very happy man with her wonderful baking/cooking talents. I love you Rose!

So here's the recipe:

Preheat the oven to 425

You'll need-
3c. flour
1T. baking powder
1/4c. brown sugar
1/2t. salt
1 stick of butter-softened
1/2-3/4c. half+half or heavy cream or milk (whatever you have)
1t. vanilla

Step 1. Mix all the dry stuff

Now if you could pull of being this cute while mixing, your scones might just come out half as good as our did ;D

Step 2. Add butter and mix until "sandy". Add milk and vanilla together. Combine to dry just until mixed.

Step 3ish. Shape them and bake them for 12 min.

I wanted some color on these bad boys.

I gave Rose some extra dough and she made a lovely...Tower? Lol! Whatever it is you did a great job hon :)

Here they are! The finished scones! They were very good if I do say so myself ;) Thanks again Rose for all the help, you're very sweet and a great kid! Love you sweet girl :)
And thank you for reading this! I hope you enjoyed this post and like the recipe.
